I've owned these headphones for over a year now after buying them at Best Buy. They haven't made my ears sweaty, even with hours upon hours of continued usage. The one thing that I can complain about the fit is that they compress my ears a little bit (but that comes with having an abnormally large cranium).

As far as value goes, these are fantastic! Great sound quality and the in-line controls are great. The biggest drawback on these is that the hinge on the earpieces can get stained and snap under extremely extensive usage.

I've had these for about a year and have since bought and sold many headphones online. These are one of the few keepers. They sound great, the inline controls are a plus, and they are one of the few that are comfortable on my relatively large head (7 5/8 hat size), and large ears. My daughter and wife also find them comfortable for their smaller heads and ears.
I thought I got a good deal at $70, and at this price they are a steal.

My favorite pair so far. Better than the Beats, Soul's, my Sennheisers, and the Klipsch M-40's. My buddy has Beats Solo and agreed that these were much better. Nice heavy bass.
If you see the x-10's in ear on sale, they are great also.
I just bought two more pairs of these. Can't beat the sound for the price.

My Bose set is plenty comfortable, but the earpieces are showing their age since the only time I wear them are outside when mowing(In Florida) and usually that's about 5 hours at a time to mow the whole property.

I could be wrong, but I'm guessing no. I bought some other high-quality phones that had iPhone/iPod/iPad controls/mic. While the audio worked perfectly, the mic and controls did NOT work on my HTC Android phone. I plugged them into a friend's iPhone and they worked fine. So, I sold them to him and bought some Beats that have Android compatible controls.

I bought the 1st gen versions of these last time they were on woot (same price) for the wife. I was SOOO impressed with them, that the next time woot had them on sale again, I bought a pair for myself.

I usually use them for falling asleep to, laying on one side night after night and they haven't crushed or broken. I use them for drumming too, the pads are able to keep a ton of the harsh noise out while still letting me be able to listen to music to drum to.

I use them on my iPhone, but right before I got them, I still had an android phone and the volume/pause controls worked just fine on it too.

I own these. $50 is nothing for this quality, I paid A LOT more. Many online reviews rate these higher than Beats Audio, which are a Monster Cable product anyways, and if that hasn't been the biggest SCAM in the audio/video history then I don't know what is! However the gangsta hood rats won't respect you if you don't support Dr Dre, who put his name on Beats, and had no other input. The inline control is fantastic with iPhone and so are the cushy leather ear pads. Never heard better sound myself.

I NEVER write reviews for stuff, the community here is on point enough. But these are the best headphones I have ever owned. I work in an office and have these on for 6+ hours a day with zero discomfort. Sounds great, looks great. A bargain at twice the price.

Can somebody who owns these comment on the size and adjustability? I am a small woman with a small head. The last two phones I bought did not adjust down enough causing the actual phones to rest somewhere south of my jawline and causing extreme discomfort. I swore to never buy any again without trying them on and had settled on the Bose OE at Costco - which I find extremely comfortable. But they cost twice as much. Given that returning these might be difficult to impossible are they worth a shot?

ROFL - As one who has always gone for cheap headphones (love the old radioshack made by Koss back in the 90's) - $50 isn't bad for this quality. I have first gen - and I'm in for 1 on these because the cables on the first gen suck for travel (get tangled). These aren't audiophile quality headphones (plenty of those go $500 on up), but they kick the crap out of the $300 beats IMHO (which are the only beats that sound good IMHO ;-) ). They also kick the crap out of my old Koss made Optimus 56's which were $40 on clearance back in '98 - but their foam earpads disintegrated about 5 years ago.

They adjust down relatively small - but my extremely small female friend isn't around right now to try it on, so I can say they offer a decent amount of holding power even without the headband resting on your head as long as your stationary.

From the first paragraph of the description: "Professional grade foam ear cups isolate noise while the Image ONE’s speakers open up a wide frequency range, letting you soak in every detail of sound."

Thank you for all the great posts, everyone. Buying these as a Christmas gift for my sister who just mentioned she wanted a pair of headphones to wear while at work. Perfect timing, Woot!

You shouldn't be. I have the HD 380 Pro as well. Best headphones I've ever owned. I sense these would be a step down... Unless you need good traveling headphones (I have Sennheiser HD 428 headphones for travel, so I already have that covered).

I own these headphones. Paid $99 and they are my favorite headphones of this type. I own about 30 headphones from $10 to $1000 and I would pick these for any music. Not saying they sound better than my Beyer T1s listening to cds but for portable music they are equal in sound and more comfortable. I also own the Bluetooth version and they changed the earcups to earpads and they are less comfortable. Im thinking abut buying these just for the earcups and putting them on the Bluetooth version.
